Cant go back that far as i have only had my dog coming up for 9 years and watched for about a year before that, but the best dog about for me was Kirby, fantastic little dog guts of steel and the awesome Swift Holly, infact her whole breeding line is that of Champions and still coming out today in the likes of Insane Jane etc- A true quality blood line in my eyes.

Another dog i have absolute respect for is North to South, was up against this dog nearly every race, and it would have run through a brick wall i am sure!! Wish he would be given the chance at stud more!

JOHN AGREE WITH YOUR LIST LITTERED WITH GREATS BUT YOU CAN ONLY PICK ONE THATS WHAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT.AGREE WITHJOHN NOBLE WAS LUCKY TO WITNESS MO EVIL WHAT A FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE AND WHAT A DOG.

CANT WAIT FOR LES AND LINDA TO PUT ON THERE OPINIONS WONDER IF THEY AGREE.

ok rob if my life depended on it i would have to go with no comment winning the top ten 3 years on the trot great achievment. (see iam not biased) i could have gone for tycool or chloe :lol:

i was there in 1980 to witness his achievment :thumbsup:

I would have to agree with you there John no comment was a fantastic Racer doing faster times than some No limiters and very consistent winner loved watching her race, Mo evil was a great racer I to witnessed him race at the champs, didn't he have to rerun in the championship run off? ( could be wrong) but he was a dog everyone admired and respected at the time. Dancing Gold and just splendid won most of the opens between them one year jointly winning the top ten by miles though Dancing gold always found it hard when it came to championship day but she did have her day becoming Sup/Nch. Marillion won loads of opens and then went on to sire some great open racers and is in many of our racers pedigrees along side Good as Gold who was also a great sire of champions. sorry going off topic

YOU HAVE TOLD ME MANY TIMES THAT SWIFT HOLLY WAS THE BEST EVER AND WHAT A RACE IT WOULD BE ANOTHER MAID GIVING HER 5 OR 6 YARDS.

SHE WAS BRED IN THE PURPLE GOING BACK TO THE FANTASTIC JOHNNY MACK SINGING WIND LITTEROF CHAMPS.BEST FIVER ROCKY EVER SPENT BUYING HER DAM.

TONY COOPER AND THE PORTSMOUTH BOYS LOVE TELLING THE STORY

talking of Mo evil I was lucky enough to have a pup sired by him in the early eighty's , he was showing a lot of promise when injury ended his career. the dogs that stood out at this time were

Kia ora

Dolomite

Lucky white

Smarty pants

but my all time greatest was

So perfect

owned by Colin/Alison. she was the last bitch ever to win overall supreme racing champion in 1984 , after this the supreme dog and bitch stopped running off together

Swift Holly for me, remember being in awe of her paralising everything out of the boxes.

Absolutely loads of dogs i have a lot of respect for but she is THE ONE for me, would have loved to race against her.

[maz40]

[maid]

REALLY ENJOYED THE FANTASY RACE TOPIC JUST UP THE STREET OF THE OLDTIMERS.AS A FOLLOW ON WHO IN YOUR OPINION WAS THE BEST OF ALL TIME OVER THE CHAMPIONSHIP 150 YARDS YARD PER POUND.

IN MY OPINION JILL AND DOUG TARPEYS ANOTHER MAID WAS THE BEST.BRILLIANT NOTTINGHAM BLOODLINES OF THE MAIDS.FANTASTIC SPECIMEN OF 24LBS BITCH.WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO GIVE HER A START.FANTASTICALLY CONSISTENT FOR OVER TWO YEARS.TOOK ON ALL OPPOSITION EVERY WEEK.EARLY PACE AND AN ALMOST UNCANNY TRAPPING ABILITY.SHE WAS JUST A JOY TO WATCH POETRY IN MOTION.WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE HER AT HOME FOR A PERIOD AND SHE HAD A LOVERLY GENTLE FRIENDLY NATURE EVEN LIKING BUGSY THE CAT.

Only just caught up with this topic - on hols so have to wait until Sal goes out before I can use her computer although I have to say when Bill and I stayed at Doug and Gills I never remember her being particularly nice to cats!!

I am very biased concerning Another Maid as I was lucky to have owned three of her daughters (and still have her great, great grandaughters today). I was married to Bill Warner at the time and some of the dogs I remember are - Les and Lindas Double Handfull and Sovereigh Rose (to name but 2 from their very sucessful kennels), Steve and Julies Mr Benn, and their fabulous heavyweight Rollercoaster, those days the handicap on the bends was 1 and a half yards a pound, not forgetting their Little Madam, No Comment again a lovely bitch to watch, as was IBM, and Kerrrys Dream what a litter of dogs Mr Ross, Little Jim, Freeman (and if my memory severs me right Blue Breeze) proved to be. Grasscutter was a fantastic dog as well as Mo Evil and Dream Vision and his litter brother Marillion, Indian Jo was another heavyweight dog that won - I was out of racing when Steinman was runing but I believe he was a fabulous dog. A lightweight dog I loved to watch was Slippy Blue. Soft Touch, Just Splendid and Swift Holly are three "yesteryear" lightweight bitch racers that I remember, and I think that Mo Cara would give them a run for their money. I could go on for ever - especially sitting here with a glass of orange juice waiting for the "come and pick up me up" call - I often think how lucky I am to have seen so many talented dogs and bitches race and love to see the offspring of the "golden oldies" runnning today. It is really diffult to pick only ONE special one - and although I never actually saw him race what a dog Good as Gold must have been. There are so many brilliant racers I have not mentioned and I apologise to their owners - I could fill a page with dogs that in the past years that have left a lasting memory.

we used to go drinking in a club in our village and we used to talk to an old guy,he would always ask how we had done,we used to spend hours taking about whippets,he used to always talk about red Barron,and cherry,the main 2 he used to speak about the most.i would of loved to have seen these dogs in action.the old boy still calls in ours and asks how things are going,he must be 90 years old and still goes out with the ferrets.and breeds his canary's,n british finches,he has cuttings from the local newspaper of his whippet bitch years ago, out of the northern echo he had a whippet bitch that had 13 pups,i think it was a record way back then.and he was the first bloke who had bred a white goldfinch mule,canary x goldfinch,it won the Birmingham nec big show and won everywhere it went,he was a fellow whippet man,a gr8 bloke,,

[JOHNG]

i still see some off the old whipprt racers who used to race in the 60s & 70s namely freddie redman who had ( rch golden janella )and jimmy singlewood who ( rch little marreta ) ,and they allways say cherry was the best racer they had seen.and when i tell them the times dogs of the same weight as cherry 20lb are doing they can't believe it.

but i will stick with no comment .

another topic could be best all round racer that did bend & straight.
